Story mode. For Icewind Dale. Fucking story mode, for fucking Icewind Dale.

So not only will they make the game three times easier by implementing additional kits, spells, and such, but they will also add in 'story mode' for complete retards, who do not want to play combat in Icewind Dale, but would rather experience 'epic storytelling' of the game.

Man, will these people be disappointed.

I don't care that they add cheats to the main menu, I'm more worried that people exist who would play Icewind Dale to experience the story.

I wonder if my first playthrough of IWD, had it been with the story mode, would be one of mere disappointment rather than persistent annoyance that it was.

I'm hoping Larrel will be made romanceable.

Indeed. Take a page from Atlus on Etrian Odyssey. If you're going to tout story as a new feature of a remake that doesn't need to exist, at least add real characters.
